Kailah is basically a new Cara Maria. Attractive and good enough at talking to garner screen time, but will ultimately get run over by true beasts like Laurel and Jenna.

how many of these HALL OF FAME segments does mtv have? just CT and bannans?

I know we have some true CHALLENGE historians in here, but was anyone else shocked that Laurel has only won once?

well shes only done 4 and none were the two giant team type that early challengers padded win totals with

basically got beaten out by true GOATs landon in fresh meat 2 and evelyn in rivals then won free agents. dont remember the cutthroat finals. so a solo win and 3 second places on the resume

Look how comical the Cutthroat draft was. Some real gems in here:

#mtcga

I think in Camilla's case she was on that spring break challenge and never watched the show, so she didn't know anyone on it and had no clue but then once she took Dunbar he drafted the rest of the team and obviously did fine.

Shauvon picking Vinny first lol

Blue team was legit but the eliminations didn't favor Bananas (backpack) and Derrick at all.

Will be interesting to see how they mix champions w/ underdogs. I hope it doesn't disappoint. I'm already getting tired of flashing back to the champions via champ cam. Outside of a quick update on them, i don't really care how hard they are training. Just bring them on the damn show already.
I agree with the people that seem to think the underdogs know or have a strong feeling champs are coming.
If its 8 to 8 when champs come on the show, that isn't even close or fair. I think it will be 12 to 8 then they all move into the oasis together.

Also I'm looking forward to seeing how quickly until the champs turn on each other to try to make it a easier finals for them.
I don't see how CT doesn't make the finals as he has shown not to have the best endurance and is a challenge beast in eliminations. While Zach isn't as good at the game as CT or as good at eliminations as CT his history of such poor endurance makes him likely to go pretty far. Obviously Bananas is the king of endurance and finals and probably the weakest of the 4 champs in eliminations(maybe zach tho), I'd think at some point a play will be made against bananas to prevent him from getting to finals. Darrell is pretty sick at nearly all aspects of the game. I wouldn't say his finals game or polidicking game is as good as bananas, he isn't too far off. Big elimination threat too.
I'm concerned tho that CT is too friendly too bananas to make a play against him, Zach is a follower IMO and won't lead the play. So it comes down to Darrell. Part of my thinks Darrell wants bananas in the final to prove he is better than him.

Wish it was wes instead of Zach, as I'd love to see Wes try to rally the underdogs right away against champs to set himself up for cake walk final. Would be epic.

Women, laurel is a huge favorite right now. Outside of Jenna, and Cara Maria I don't see any of these other girls really threatening her at all.

We gonna get a fantasy draft going or is it too late? Should we just wait till they merge and do it?

When it comes to TV, Exodus is probably the best thing in the world. You have access to nearly every movie/tv show made in the past 30 years.

What line will you give me against both if it comes to that? I seriously think Laurel is so overrated and swear she'd crawl up into a ball if someone punched her in the mouth. I kno hot take.

how the hell did zach make the cut for the champions

that dude hasnt done **** and won a historically weak season

dated jenna, generally likable, and a decent competitor

also who else were they gonna get? Wes is running 1000 companies and the only other guys who have won in the past 5 years are half-hand and cara's cousin. would have had to convince another OG to come back with darrell

The Miz is busy

Abe is probably banned for life

Kenny/Evan ditto

Frank seems done

Tyler or Dunbar? Prefer Zack to them

Abram?

mark long and derrick have been apparently been begging to come back

Mark Long is boring tho. Prefer Zack over him.

Derrick was boring last few seasons as well.

Zack with girl drama probably better than Derrick.

yea i actually thought derrick was gonna be on for this season. i actually saw a picture with all the contestants and he was on it


zach sucks but should be fine for this season

i also feel like the JUICE is back in the house.

my man zach got the hgh beard. dude hunter former baseball player, he def juiced.

CT a walking juice. Bananas got his amphetamine russian brain drug cocktails.

sober Tony def on a cycle

Zach has entertaining commentary and has at least one roid rage per season. He's the best option of any of the others mentioned. I'm pumped they brought Darrell back. He's the man

Just with they had roylee living in that shack. That would truly make it elite

Same here, he was horrible when he was on with his brother but seems basically OK to me since then. Not the most interesting but not a total dick either.

Also TJ is without a doubt the GOAT host and whatever MTV is paying him it isn't enough.

One more thing from the Premiere:

Good God the awful ****ing accents on this show. Nicole, Bruno, Jenna, all with such horrendous accents. It's almost like they intentionally chose the people with the most annoying voices to fill out this cast.

We've said this before but I think Dario is the type that can get on an MTV dating show (AYTO) but is probably way too normal to get on something like RW. I don't mind him besides the fact he sucks at the game. Remember last season he had the chance to throw Bannons or Vince in and he cut a deal to be the #3 in their alliance, which at best meant he would win like 15k? Think he figured that whoever he put in would smash the guy who got anxiety and wouldn't skydive and the festival girl but he was still playing scared.

That was awful. Wes said he didn't talk to kids after that. Also said that is the type of person who serves him in real life. So that was good.

On the other hand, if Dario was never on the show we would have never gotten BANNANS and WEST.

Fair trade IMO.
